Not sure why I thought it would improve that particular area in performance terms.
I notices that too.. thought the overclock would improve the video recording. I'm running 900mhz with 500DSP but still stuttering with nothing running in the background

thanks for the advice!

personally i have zero linux experience, but pretty extensive experience overclocking/modding various devices.

but we all have to start somewhere, each individual can decide him/herself whether this is for them to do, or is it that you think the average n900 user is not capable of their own simple decisions?
maybe its just that you would you like to keep the "club" a bit more "exclusive"??

I think XP mode is only for pro and above. Figured most people who go 64bit have at least pro since it was only $30 on sale.

1 question....
If I overclock my device...lets say to 1700MHz...what can happen in worstcase?
cpu dead?

@flashing with win7 x64: download a ubuntu live cd and do it with ubuntu

I guess so. However, you don't even need a PC to flash really.
There is a way to flash directly from N900's xterminal thanks to -miniME- in this thread. (in my guide also)

Phone won't boot up. But cpu most likely won't die as it never got the chance to run at such speed for long. Just flash it to a slower kernel and it should come back.

Try with faster DSP and report back if you could? If I guess correctly the DSP might be do some of the video recorders jobs.

I think the frame clipping issue during video recording may be more due to the use of buffering? (or lack of)

I'm pretty sure 99.9% here are on 1.1.1. (including myself although I did write 1.1sometime back in this thread)
